SSD = vt + v^2/2 * g * (f+0.01n) {all in meter and second}.
f=n*f(actual).

If you convert it to kmph, you will be getting your answer as C so it's correct.

It should be 0.28vt+0. 01v^2/n.

SSD = 0.278Vt + V^2/254*(f+0.01n) if V is in kmph.

Yes, correct @Deep.

Here SSD = 0.278Vt + V^2/(254 * 0.35 * n) = 0.278Vt + 0.01V^2/n.
